One user on Facebook described visiting the community recycling centres as a worthwhile chore, saying that individuals should “make an excuse to visit” the “fantastic staff all with a sense of humour”.
A particular point of interest for visitors is the fantastic decorations that adorn the site, created by the staff who work there.
